The Gators will host the Longhorns and the Sooners as two of six home-only opponents. It’ll be the first time Oklahoma visits Florida in its history and first time since 1996 that Texas travels to Gainesville.Six more teams compile Florida’s away-only opponents. They are Alabama, Arkansas, Auburn, Kentucky, LSU and Mississippi State.
Despite arguably being Florida’s biggest conference rival, it is the first time since the 1963-1964 season that the Gators only play Kentucky once,Georgia, South Carolina and Tennessee make up the Gators’ home-and-home conference opponents. Led by former UF head coach Mike White, Georgia has not beaten Florida since the 2018-2019 season and are on an 11-game losing streak to the Gators. Florida beat Georgia three times last season, which includes an 85-80 victory in the SEC Tournament.
